The Eject Of the Dead Owl.

expensiveness Of death by providing
funeral baked meats" for the crows.
Every one who came offered sympathy

genial John Burroughs, tells the follow
ing: 'One season, to protect my early
cherries, / placed a large stuffed owl amid
the branches Of the tree. Such a racket
as there instantly began about my grounds
is not pleasant to think upon. The orioles
and robins fairly 'shrieked out their

every direction, and apparently every
bird in town came to see that owl in the
cherry tree, and every bird took a cherry.
so that l lost more fruit than If I had left
the owl in doors. With craning necks
and Mortified looks, the birds would alight
upon the branches, and between their
creams would snatch off a cherry, as il
the act was some relief TO their outraged
feelings. Philadelphia Times.

The Tamal of Mexico.

The tamal is a ~favorite composite all
over the republic. II consists of chopped
meat, tomatoes, and chile rolled in a tor
tilla. The t%ortilla, perhaps it is necessary
to say, the almost universal country sub
stitnte for bread, is a cake made of maize,
and about the size of q large buckwheat
cake. Its manufacture is one of the chief
occupations Of the women. In almost
every hut and garden one can hear the
grinding and the patting Of the t%ortilla.
Seated on the ground. the woman has be-
side her q dish of soaking grains of maize.
In front Of her Is a curved stone, and
upon this she mashes the maize with a

There is apparently no limit to the uses
10 which paper viii eventually be put.
In the past week I have seen in various
places about town paper car wheels,
pals, peach baskets, ink bottles, hats,
chair seats, kitchen utensils, picture
frames and a lot Of so-called paper statu-
airy. Paper handkerchiefs and napkins
from Japan are used as dinner novelties
in polite society. read in an evening
paper that a paper bodied buggy has been
built out west. The cocoanut tree, whose
universal utility was once a proverb,
must take a back seat. What between
the variety Of material paper can be made
out Of and the variety Of service it can be
made to yield, it will soon contest the

Wa1
Notwithstanding the loathing which
most races of men have always felt for
the whole serpent tribe, there was a
small sect in the early days of Christian.
ity who did not share this feeling. In
fact, these people actually w~orshiped
serpents. They belonged to the large
and more intellectually dignifed and inn
portant body Of schismatics called Gnos-
tics. The serpent worshipers believed
that the snake which tempted Eve per-
formed a highly beneficial service for
humanity. If the serpent had not taken
advantage Of his opportunity, they con-
tended, in effect our first parents would
have remained in the Garden Of Eden to
the end Of their days, and all the sue
ceeding generations would have re-
manned in a condition Of primeval
nakedness, innocence and simplicity. D
Such a condition of things, in the
opinion Of this particular sect of Gnostics,
would not only be highly monotonous,
but would also be degrading and in
furious TO the last degree. There would
be a dull, dead sameness throughout the
world. Life would be tedious, colorless
and insipid. The picturesque and pleas.
ing d~iversiication in language, garb and
physical and mental characteristics which
now d~ifferentiate one race and nation
from another would be absent, because
there would be but one race and one
nation on the whole globe. No ex.
ertion would be made to provide food
o. raiment, for the n would be pro-
vided without exertion, and the other
would be unnecessary and Questionable.
There would be no incentive for ambition,
as all mankind would be on q dull, dead
level. Progress would be undesirable,
and. indeed, impossible, even. were it de-
sirable. Some Of the Gnostics were per-
verse enough to honor Cain, Judas Is.
CARROT and other wicked percentages, but
the serpent worshipers literally revered
snakes, and took them to their bosom
not f~guratively, but really and actually
and kiss~d them.-Globe- Democrat.

German Home Life.

The Germans are slandered when il is
said of them that they do not live at
home and have no strong home feeling.
l have lived among them for years, SO |
may surely be considered competent to
speak of their character and peculiarities.
l have been in many countries, but !
have yet to meet a nation whose love for
home is greater than that of the Ger
cans. 1t could not be otherwise, with
such a deep and affectionate disposition
as ch~aracterizes them. The members Of
families there are most firmly and de-
votedly attached to each other, and in
the same degree. they are attached to
their homes. They decorate their homes
in the endeavor to render them attractive
as eagerly as we do, they speak of home
as Of an almost holy place, they resort
thither with delight.
When the children grow up and are
scattered into strange places, they evince
a continual yearning to return to the
home Of their childhood and will find a
way to do 90 at least once a year, IL they
are not too far away. As to the German
reputation for friendliness, some persons
think 1t undeserved. l do not. l have
ever found the Germans the most soci.
able, friendly and at the same time reli-
| able, Of all nations I have met. You get
acquainted with them easily, for they
take immediate interest in you; you feel
at home in a circle Of German acquaint-
ances, before you even feel the slightest
thaw in the freezing GOODNESS of a circle
Of English or Americans. They are
genial and very sociable, ever pleasant,
and h~ospitable to a degree; for a jolly
and ever faithful boon companion give

In his historical works Hubert
Howe Bancroft furnishes us Q graphic
account of the unique method of gar
dening In ancient Mexico. On the
first visit Of the Spaniards they found
the lakes Of the great valley of Mexico
adorned with chinampas, or floating
gardens. Driven in the days of their
national weakness 70 the lake islands,
which were too small for their support
the ingenious Aztec people devised
the chinampa. They observed small
portions Of the shore, detached by the
high water aud held together by fib.
rous roots. floating upon the surface of
the water. Acting on the suggestion
they constructed RATS Of light wood,
covered with smaller sticks, PUSHES
end reeds, bound togeth,r with fibrous
Aquatic plants, and on this founda.
sion they heaped two or three feet OF
black mud from the bottom Of the
lake. Thus the broad surface around
their island homes was dotted with
fertile gardens, self-invigoratiIg and
independent Of rains, easily moved
from place to place, according to the
fancy Of the proprietors. They were a
most extraordinary source Of food.
Their form was usually q parallelo.
gram, and they we're often overa hun.
dred feet long. All the agricultural
products Of the country, particularly
maize, chill and beans were soon pro
duced in abundance on the chinampas
while the larger ones bore fruit ant
shade trees Of considerable size and
hut for the convenience OF the owne
or gardner. And floating garden
have remained In use down 10 modern
times, but since the waters Of the lax,
reosded 90 much from their forme
limits they have been generally attach
ed TO the shore. being separated b,
narrow canals, navigated by the %
noes which bear their produce 10 th,
markets. In later times, however,
only flowers and garden vegetable
have been raised 10 this manner.

Thursday. June IS, 1887.

In speaking of the invitation ex-
tended to President Cleveland by st.
Louis citizens, the Globe Democrat
has the following to say: "The &C
ceptance of the invitation rendered
President Cleveland by the citizens
committee has given rise to q great
deal Of discussion in Grand Army
circles, and has occasioned q good
deal Of ill.feeling, some being op-
posed TO Mr.. Cleveland's presence
under any circumstances, others
thinking that the Grand Army has
been treated with scant courtesy by
the President, and others fearing that
the presence of great numbers of polit.
ical organizations during the encamp-
msnt would seriously detract from its
success. Gen. ID. p. Grier, chairman
of the general executive committee of
the T~wenty-irst National Encamp-
ment, offers the following explanation:
Il do not think that there need be any
trouble or clashing of interests 10 the
matter, IL affairs remain in the posi-.
tion they now occupy. The executive
committee some months ago invited
the President to visit ST. Louis at the
time Of the encampment. To this in.
vltation We have not received any re-
ply; but l see by the papers that Mr..
Cleveland has accepted the invitation
rendered to him by q number Of citi.
zens to be present during the encamp-
ment. With this invitation the Grand
Army has nothing to do at all, and the
President. while In st. Louis, will be
the guest of the citizens and not of the
Grand Army. / should consider 1t to
be In decidedly bad taste for tie sol.
diers to appoint q committee to re-
ceive him, or 10 any way attempt to
arrange his programme while In the
city. We can 60 Do with bur encamp-
meut, leaving his entertainment 10 the
hands Of those who invited him. He
will view the parade as q guest Of the
oitizens, who will make all necessary
arrangements and appoint such dele.
gates as they may see fit. In this
way there can be no clashing between
the Grand Army and any other organ
izations, rs the Presidents silence In
the matter of our invitation. coupled
with his acceptance of q later one
from . different source, relieves the
Grand Army of any especial RESPONSE.
bilities In the matter and prevents
any possibility Of ~ill.feeling arising
between US aud other organizations,
such rs might have resulted had the
President accepted both invitations,
leaving 1t uncertain whether he came
o. the guest of the Grand Army or as
the guest Of the siguers of the petition.
As II is he Is their guest, not ours, and
1 cannot see how any trouble or clash

Why the Sun Put. Out the Fire.

The reason Of ''the sun putting out a
fire. is thus explained: At the time Of
day when the sun shines into a room the
fire is often allowed to get dull, and the
suns rays warm and rarely the air in
the room as much as the fire warns the
air passing ove IL up the chimney.
Hence the draught ceases and the fire
goes out. To remedy the inconvenience
open the door or the window TO let the
warm air out and cold in.-Philadelphia
